Months ago I sent my Mini Walrus Maggot over to the folks at the Toy Society in Australia. Since then their project has blown up into a huge global plush-dropping operation! It’s so fun to read the notes from the unsuspecting people that find these randomly placed plush. 

So the Mini Walrus Maggot waits for its new friend to come along and find it. 

You can see it waiting here. 

And it got found!! Here’s the note:

“Thank you for leaving this toy at Doll Point.
My 1 year old daughter’s grandpa found it while taking her for a walk on 24 April 2009. She took an instant loving to the walrus. It has been named Wally Walrus!
Thank you toy society. This little gift has made my little girl’s day!”

“Aeroplankton (or aerial plankton) is the term used to describe the tiny lifeforms which float and drift in the air, carried by the current of the wind; it is the atmospheric analogue to oceanic plankton.” (Thanks, Wikipedia!)

You know what falls into this category? Aphids!

A distant cousin of the Rodamaur.

Facing such formidable body armor, plants and leafy growths everywhere cower in fear!

It is always watching you!

And smacking its fearsome jaws.

Let’s recap: Deadly, tiny, and carried in the wind! Ah!

Lucky for us it’s an herbivore.

The summer breezes.

Carry me to you in droves.

Hide your tomatoes!

Here’s a mug Edvard Munch could be proud of!

The Screamer. The second in the series.

I am thinking about submitting it to Mortal Plush: I am Not Your Toy show, but I have not yet decided. The show calls for plush conveying strong emotion, and this one certainly does. I’m also considering sending my New Year’s Resolution piece. It’s a great example of remorse. Thoughts?

My Carrot has inspired me to create more veggies.

Corn on the Cob

Check out the detail I put into the individual kernels. That took some time!

And, it’s a set! The corn can be easily shucked for realistic corny fun!

A Gritty Haiku:

The perfect food, my

Versatility astounds.

You can call me Maize.

And I’m back.

Meet the Shark.

An experiment in 3-dimensionality with hilarious results.

Dermal denticles are the scales the make up a shark’s skin.

A Fishy Haiku:

In the ocean’s depths,

Seaweed snags constantly on

My gigantic teeth!
